Luang Por Liem: The Ways of the Peaceful - Wat Pah Nanachat

of the heart is damaged, simply that. There’s the chance of
complete failure. This can happen, suddenly. There’s nothing
difficult about it, it’s not hard, and it’s good in that there will be
no pain. Only the breathing becomes quicker, that’s all. We went
to see the doctors and they said these will be the symptoms
preceding total heart failure. I have the feeling that the tests,
checks and things that they have observed support this diagnosis.
Regarding the fact that we are living together, we have come
together now for determining pansah, in order to create feelings
that give rise to concord and unanimity in the principles of
Dhamma-Vinaya. So today we will do this act of determining the
pansah with each other as witnesses. We understand that this is a
special occasion in this period.
I don’t have much more, so I won’t say much more. It is
appropriate. If I speak a lot it also uses a lot of energy, so I’d like
to use this occasion to express my appreciation for all of us who
have come together for determining the pansah, doing the duty of
changing our characters and habits and leading our lives as those
who see the disadvantages and dangers in the round of rebirth.
Doing so, we can be a bit of a light for others, for the people in
the world, so that they may open up their eyes and ears; because
just as the external light is capable of giving support and
convenience, the light inside is capable of making the hearts of
people in society change. May you all have happiness that is
without any dukkha. With your permission, I will end now.
